Storybooks, coloring pages, and activities for grades K-4 to study Earth system science as part of the GLOBE Program.
Students will understand how different types of clouds form where warm and cold air meet in mid-latitude cyclones and that these storms and clouds will likely change as the climate warms. Students will also learn that changes in clouds due to climate warming may cause even more changes in climate and that this is an area of active research.
Students learn about the ingredients needed to make a cloud, and the role that air pressure and temperature play in cloud formation.
Students learn how to observe and describe clouds.
This Teaching Box combines activities, data analysis, and discussion to help high school students consider how weather can affect clouds and how clouds can affect climate.
Resource Type: Activities
Students learn that clouds change over time.
Clouds are both universal and mysterious. The science of clouds helps students feel closer to the sky and in awe of nature as they learn elementary concepts of physics, the water cycle, and atmospheric science. Explore the educational resources in this teaching box and bring cloud science to your elementary students.
